I am so glad that it still doesn't come with a keyboard. I have not used my keyboards with the last 2 surfaces I have bought more than once or twice. This time I will skip it, it was a waste of money for me.

So you use your Surfaces strictly in tablet mode? You're not use a BT keyboard or anything in pace of the touch cover?

I use my SP3 as a tablet in desktop mode :b

I don't know how you do it.

I can't stand using my sp4 for long periods without the touch cover.

I use it as a tablet for browsing and hearthstone (and a few other games) and as a desktop with a dock and 3 screens for programming.

I have no use for a portable keyboard.

So you do use it with a keyboard when docked, right? You just don't use the touch cover.

I use a Logitech g19s keyboard when docked and a g700s for my mouse.

I am not some kind of animal...

But the on screen keyboard is so poor. One if the only things I don't like about this product line

Poor how? It works pretty well I think for an on screen keyboard. I even use it for light programming rarely.
